Leather Bag and Belt
Repairs & Alterations
If your much-loved bag or belt has broken, or doesn’t fit you, I can repair or alter it so it’s strong, you look smart when you wear it and it’s ready to use again.

Restoring Strength & Longevity
I’ve restored strength, function and longevity to much-loved pieces from items that have been passed down through family with sentimental value to luxury labels such as Mont Blanc and Gucci.
Whether you have lost weight or bought a belt you can’t return, I can resize it to fit. Or perhaps a belt or bag you wear a lot that now looks shabby and worn that needs the straps refreshing so you can look smart to work.

New Buckle
I can fix a new buckle to your strap from any I have in stock or one that you have.

Alterations - Broken Pieces of Leather
Where the leather has split around the buckle on a belt, I can replace that with a new piece of leather to hold the buckle back in place again.
